Sian Nolan is passionate about bead work. This UK artisan beads a lot as you can see from her Flickr photostream! She teaches bead work both in her native England and in Germany. She is also a regular contributor to UK Bead magazine and sells her own design tutorials in her Etsy store.
About 4-5 years ago, she created these wonderful miniature beaded dresses and handbags based on designs from various Japanese books and magazines. They were all so adorable!
Sian also did a great job at displaying them on what I suspect are doll house furniture!
The dress below is reminiscent of a flapper dress from the 1920's!
This little green number is actually a pendant hung on a hanger shaped finding!
Sian clearly enjoyed making many of the patterns from those Japanese books including the full regalia below!
She is also right. A girl cannot have too many handbags!

ReplyDeleteHere is a link to Amazon Japan showing a bead dress book: https://www.amazon.co.jp/丸小ビーズで作るミニチュアビーズドレス-レディブティックシリーズ-no-2795/dp/4834727955/ref=sr_1_426?ie=UTF8&qid=1484477067&sr=8-426&keywords=ビーズの本
ReplyDeleteYou can order the book and they will send it to you....
Thanks so much for helping out with this find! If anyone else wants to buy from Amazon in Japan, use Google Chrome and right click, then select translate to English to use Amazon.
DeleteAlso, many of those beaded mini dresses are published one by one as complete lessons in beading magazines. Exact information is given in Japanese about the beads to be used.
